"This Timothy was born circa 1678 probably in Anne Arundel County, Maryland shortly after the arrival of his parents from Ireland. There is evidence from public documents that he was living in the area of Magothy River in Anne Arundel County before 1700. Having reached legal age (21 years), either he or another earlier Timothy was one of three witnesses to the will of Richard Moss on Thursday, 15 July 1700 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland."
